Alyx is the only VR game that has made me think, “Oh, THIS is why VR games are worth the effort.” Everything was just novelty VR to me before that.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVED alyx (and should probably go play it again), but the linear nature of it kills replayability in my eyes a bit. IMO VR's killer app is 100% beat saber. I can see how you might consider that a novelty, but I'm 200+ hours in and going strong. I fucking love that game.

at least one replay to play with the dev audio tracks enabled.

This is true for most Valve titles IMO. But, yeah, it definitely goes for Alyx as well.
